Unfortunately, sometimes restoring a home means knocking down the one next to it. Nicole was forced to sacrifice one house with major fire damage in order to save its next door neighbor, as seen on DIY Network's Rehab Addict.

An expert in salvage-picking, Nicole prides herself on being able to renovate and stage a home on a tight budget. Many of the furniture pieces she uses for staging are donated, salvaged from previous renovations or unique garage sale finds, as seen on DIY Network's Rehab Addict.

Nicole tackles new problems with each house she renovates. This one needed a new roof, so Nicole pitched in to help remove the old shingles though she had never done roof work before, as seen on DIY Network's Rehab Addict.

It can be hard to tell what condition a house is in when it's buried under dense vegetation. For this project, Nicole uses her Bobcat-driving skills to clear a yard before starting work on the house, as seen on DIY Network's Rehab Addict.

Nicole isn't one to stand on the sidelines while a construction crew does all the work. She takes part in any demolition necessary before repairs in addition to any re-building that needs to be done, as seen on DIY Network's Rehab Addict.
